七夕情人節(jié)

七夕情人節(jié)指的是農(nóng)歷七月的第七個夜晚，這個節(jié)日是漢代傳統(tǒng)的民間節(jié)日。七夕的晚上不僅僅是傳奇中的"牛郎'和"織女'一年一度相見的夜晚，同時也是為編制姑娘們祈求心靈手巧的好機(jī)會。因此，七夕節(jié)又叫"乞巧節(jié)'，"女兒節(jié)'。盡管七夕節(jié)不如其它節(jié)日那般流行，但是在中國，男女老少都對節(jié)日背后的故事相當(dāng)熟識。

很久以前，有一個放牛娃名叫牛郎，父母早亡，只好跟著哥哥嫂嫂度日。然而，哥哥嫂子為人狠毒，常常虐待他。他們逼牛郎干苦活，不讓他吃飽睡好，最終又把他趕出了家門，牛郎除了身上的衣服和一頭老水牛外，一無全部。

牛郎在山邊搭了間茅草屋，辛勤開墾，在巖石地上挖出了一片菜園，他經(jīng)常饑腸轆轆，勞累不堪，但把老水牛照看得好好的。一日，牛突然說話了，它告知牛郎說自己前身是天上的金牛星，由于違反了天條把糧食種子撒到了人間，天帝將它貶到人間以示懲處。老牛說，過幾天，天上的仙女會下凡到離茅草屋不遠(yuǎn)的圣池里游泳，其中有一個勤勞和善、漂亮賢惠的姑娘，名叫織女。編輯：.ybask.Com。

織女是天宮中王母娘娘的外孫女，假如牛郎能趁仙女洗澡的時候把織女的衣服拿走，她就會留下來作他的妻子。

到了那天，牛郎藏在高大的蘆葦叢里等著。老牛說的話顯靈了，仙女們很快就到了，她們脫掉絲袍跳進(jìn)水里。牛郎偷偷地爬出來，拿起織女的衣服跑開了。仙女們嚇著了，趕快上岸，穿起衣服跑開了，把織女一個人留在后頭。牛郎跑回來，把衣服還給了織女，他對織女一見鐘情。兩人相對而視，織女對牛郎說要做他的妻子。

兩人結(jié)婚后，牛郎耕田種地，織女紡線織衣，恩恩愛愛?？椗闪诉h(yuǎn)近的名人，她心靈手巧，養(yǎng)蠶紡紗，編錦織緞，樣樣精通。三年后，侄女生了對龍鳳胎，男孩兒叫"金哥'，女孩兒叫"玉妹'。小兩口日子過得幸福美滿，牛郎織女滿以為能夠終身相守，白頭到老。

一天，?？焖懒耍R死前說對小兩口說，將它的皮剝下來放好，有朝一日，披上它，就可飛上天去。牛死后，牛郎心疼地剝下牛皮，當(dāng)心翼翼地保藏起來。

這時候，玉皇大帝和王母娘娘聽說孫女到了人間，還結(jié)婚生子，特別生氣，遂下令天神盡快把織女捉回來。

一日，牛郎從地里回

來觀察孩子們坐在地上哭，忙到織布機(jī)前看，沒人。孩子說，有個老太太把媽媽抓走了。牛郎記起了老牛對他說的話，他把孩子放到兩個籮筐里，披上牛皮，挑起籮筐，突然，他輕如浮云，飛向天空。眼看快追上了，王母娘娘聽到了小孩的哭聲，她朝后一望，從頭上取下金簪，在身后劃了一道，天空中立馬消失一條奔騰的河，這條河就叫天河。天河太寬，河水湍急，牛郎飛不過去，只能看著織女飛走，父子三人哭得揪心裂膽，天帝見此情景，大為感動，遂允許牛郎織女每年農(nóng)歷七月初七在天河上鵲橋相見。

這對可憐的夫妻變成了星星，牛郎變成了牽牛星，織女成了織女星，把他們分開的河就是銀河。

這個悲楚動人的故事一代代相傳。據(jù)說，七月初七那天，喜鵲很少，由于他們都要飛到銀河上為牛郎織女搭起約會的橋。由于牛郎和織女在上面站的時間太長了，次日，這些忠實(shí)的喜鵲頭都變禿了。

在中國，很多人把"七夕節(jié)'當(dāng)成本族的情人節(jié)。
